Introduction: Voyager and Galileo showed that the surface of Europa has undergone significant reworking at some point during the moon’s history. The surface is covered in lineaments, which likely formed from the tides generated from Europa’s eccentric orbit around Jupiter [1]. There is also a relative paucity of visible impact craters, suggesting a surface age of about 80 million years [2]. The...

Introduction: An understanding of the spatial and azimuthal distribution of lobate scarps on Mercury is important in constraining thermal history models and models for the origin of tectonic stresses [see 1]. Existing models involve either global (radial) contraction due to secular cooling of the interior, tidal despinning, or a combination of the two [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. A comprehensive database o...

Introduction: Crustal plateaus are a major class of tectonic features on Venus surface, and its study is essential in order to understand the geological evolution previous to the global resurfacing process. These regional units are flat topped highlands formed by tessera terrain, characterized by superposition of crosscutting structures [1-2], with complex tectonic patterns; also intratessera v...

—The transition to the diverse and complex biosphere of the Ediacaran and early Paleozoic is the culmination of a complex history of tectonic, climate, and geochemical development. Although much of this rise occurred in the middle and late intervals of the Neoproterozoic Era (1000–541 million years ago [Ma]), the foundation for many of these developments was laid much earlier, during the latest...

New Horizons images of Pluto's companion Charon show a variety of terrains that display extensional tectonic features, with relief surprising for this relatively small world. These features suggest a global extensional areal strain of order 1% early in Charon's history. Such extension is consistent with the presence of an ancient global ocean, now frozen.
